    Disappointing

    I bought this as a replacement for my dying Fitbit Ionic, so was more interested in the fitness aspects of the watch than the smartphone specs. Overall, as much as there are things about the Ionic that have always annoyed me, I actually preferred it to the Active 2. I plan to return the Active 2 and continue my search for a replacement for my Ioinc. Active 2 v Ionic Comfort: although the Active 2 (40mm) is relatively comfortable, it is bulky on my small wrist and I was constantly taking it off as it annoyed me. I also found it too uncomfortable to wear to bed. Although large, I found the Ionic more comfortable. Auto capture of activity: Active 2 wasn't very good on this watch, constantly underestimating the amount of activity I had undertaken, and it didn't show my heart rate in its dashboard for any of the auto captured activities, whereas fitbit does. Workouts: I wore both watches for a week to compare results and found the Active 2 lacking. Step count and distance were similar in both watches, but there was a significant difference in the heart rates. Sorry Active 2, but I think fitbit does a better job here. Dashboard: I hated the Samsung Health dashboard. Granted, I'm used to Fitbit, but sorry Samsung, you really need to lift your game here, as it looked amateurish compared to Fitbit's. Screen: I liked the Active 2 screen. It was clear and easy to read, whereas when I looked at Garmin, I actually found their screens difficult to read without glasses. Battery: The battery on the Active 2 is crap, as has been mentioned by others. Overall, it's a good value watch and if it's your first foray into the Smartwatch sector, it's fine. But if you're interested in the fitness/ sports watch sector, I'd give it a miss.

    I got this to replace my Fitbit, which recently died. Takes some time to get used to, but I like the features. Downside is battery life isn't great.

    Best watch ever I call it my second phone. I don't have to carry my phone anywhere I go in the house, even at work I just used my watch to send text. It's so convenient. The other thing I love about it is that it's helps to control your lifestyle, remind you when is time to move around after been sitting for so long, and help manage your health. I wish this watch came with a case or screen protector. This is the best so far.
